Nifty !!!
1973 XP-897 GT/2-Rotor: This lithe concept mounted a 180-horse Wankel transversely, driving a new automatic transaxle being developed for the forthcoming X-body Citation. Designed by GM's Experimental Studio and built on a modified Porsche 914 chassis by Pininfarina, the 2-Rotor made its debut at the 1973 Frankfurt show.
23: 1973 XP-897 GT/2-Rotor24. 1973 4-Rotor: The Wankel Vette trumped the 2-Rotor with more than double the power in a low-drag (0.325 Cd) body riding on the XP-882 chassis. Its windshield was creased by hanging it from a superheated wire. Built in-house within three months of its show debut, this "Paris Corvette" remains a favorite of GM's current design staff.
